Along the lines of the lamppost post (punny!) below: it’s not so hard to create a Narnian costume, even a group one. This trio used an expert hand in theatrical makeup along with some simple costumes and props: fur coat, Halloween wig, white garments, and a nicely painted cardboard box, with hangers. It gets the …

In the play he serves as the White Witch’s right hand man and is the villain of the first major conflict, when he chases …
Walden/Disney, I’m looking at you. I’m looking at all three of the Walden/Disney films mind you, but in particular The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe since it was the most popular one and the most influential. I figured I would talk about it now because a new Netflix Narnia series directed by Greta Gerwig …
